We’re unlocking the true power of NFTs. Influence is a space strategy MMO incorporating Parallel’s NFT game assets into our game.

Within the NFT space right now, you can find almost an infinite number of artists creating amazing works and selling them as NFTs. This is an exciting new space currently being explored, but what are the true powers of NFTs?

NFTs are a hot new buzzword, everyone has heard it by now, but most (even in the crypto space) are still wrapping their heads around what they are and how they can be utilized. Not to say that selling art as an NFT is a bad thing, but NFTs are vastly more powerful than this, and the depth in which they can be utilized is just beginning to be showcased.

I work for an Ethereum blockchain gaming company, releasing the title Influence, where in-game assets are composed of NFTs. This gives players actual unique ownership over the content they acquire while playing Influence. We think that this adds a layer of depth on top of the existing utilization most know. However, even this is just the beginning!

NFTs, once minted on the blockchain, can be tracked, and utilized by anyone, while the owner still maintains custody and rights to it. This opens doors to platforms like Influence to support other game assets within their game.

We announced earlier this week that we would be incorporating another game’s assets into our game. Parallel is a card game that just released their Alpha set of cards, and we loved how well their content would work in our game. So we reached out to the team and asked if they would be okay if we utilized some of their NFTs as pieces to our game. I should mention this does not take permission and is another benefit of the Ethereum blockchain, but we wanted to ensure a solid relationship with the incredible Parallel team.

So maybe you are asking yourself, “so what if you are utilizing another game’s content in your game, what does that mean for me?”

Great question! It means that the content you either acquire or purchase within one game can now cross over into other games. Imagine playing EVE Online or World of Warcraft and collecting every piece of gear possible, and you want to stop playing these games and try something new. With the cross-functionality of assets being supported in multiple games, it opens up the ability to immediately utilize what you earned in one game into the new game.

This creates an entire ecosystem that supports each other, and instead of game companies trying to steal players into their game, they can help promote each other and ensure the content is what players want. It is a symbiotic relationship that over time will benefit all parties involved, especially the players.
